Skydive FAQ
Can I jump with my friends?
We skydive out of a 5 place aircraft, which means that you
and a friend can be in the plane with your tandem
instructors. You will exit the plane separately, and be
flying around under parachute in the same airspace, your
instructors can even point your friend (under parachute) out
in the sky!
How long will it take?
Skydiving is an outdoor activity, and our sport is governed
by the weather, which as you know is ever changing. We
recommend that you allow for up to half a day for your
skydive. For the actual time of the skydive itself see first
time jumpers
Can I drink alcohol before I jump?
No. The operational regulations of the Australian Parachute
Federation state you cannot drink alcohol 8 hours before
making a parachute descent.

Can I jump by myself for the first time?
Yes. You can choose the Accelerated Freefall stage one,
where you have a full days instruction, and jump the
following day with two instructors holding onto you
throughout freefall. You deploy your own parachute and fly
it, under guidance, safely to the ground.
How old do I have to be to jump?
Minimum age for a tandem skydive is 14 years. Minimum age
for Accelerated Freefall is 16 years. Person’s under 18 need
parent’s or guardian’s consent. |
